Heh, thanks.

I'm already doing that, but the final scene renders pretty slow anyway. I'm
saving radiosity data without reflections at the final resolution. I don't
change any settings but pretrace_start and pretrace_end ('course I turn off
always_sample).
Yes, more samples are taken during the final render (about 0.3 percent),
which is a good thing because of the reflections.
